The news
on TV is about the Golden Horse film awards program. It could have been the
Academy Awards except for the Mandarin speaking Asians dominating the stars at
the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei showing up in their snazzy cars in
front of a sheet of plastic that they do the duck walk down the red carpet in
front of the hall. It’s only entertainment so the hundreds of millions of
Mandarin-speaking Asian viewers can see the twinkle in their Mandarin-speaking
Asian stars’ eyes, an alternate universe to the Caucasian show in English with
a token smattering of entertainers not from European dissent. At least, in
Taiwan, you can bring your own food and drink into the movie theater with you.
